The Islamabad High Court (IHC) Wednesday stopped the district magistrate from issuing arrest orders under MPO till further orders and also sought assistance from attorney general of Pakistan in the matter. Justice Babar Sattar heard the cases filed by PTI’s leaders Sheharyar Khan Afridi and Shandana Gulzar against their arrest under MPO. During the course of proceeding, Justice Sattar questioned that under what law the deputy commissioner had been issuing orders under MPO as district magistrate. The court noted that only a notification of 1965 had been produced, adding that how the affairs of federal capital were being run.
